The 15th European Microscopy Congress
Manchester Central, United Kingdom
was held on 16th - 21st September 2012
RMS Learning Zone
We have put together a list of microscopes below which we hope can be supplied by
companies such as yours. The total requirement is not large as you will see, but
if you are able to commit to loaning us one or two of these microscopes, this will
help us a great deal. For further information about the RMS Learning Zone click
here.
If you are able to loan equipment for the duration of the event, please can you contact
Allison Winton (allison@rms.org.uk), by Friday 16th March if possible.
